A breeze from the southward comes bringing The fragrance of far-away llower-; 1 fancy il throhhing and ringing With notes of the mocking-bird singing sweet praises for sunshiny hours. And through (he soil mist of my dreaming The City Of Angels appeals, The gold of her orange grove* gleaming, |lng Through clouds of dark, glossy leaves, beamLike smites through a shallow ol tears. 1 see the broad vineyards, extending Their laden ai ills, low to I he ground, The willow tree swaying and bending, The blight river Hashing, and blending its voice with! heir taurnturln g sound.

Personal Journalism. The following article appeared two weeks ago in the columns of the San Franclmo New* f*etter. It so entirely accords with the Views of the editors of the Hkkai.d, and so fully represents the feeling of most good citizens that it is here reproduced, The language in which it is couched is as elegant as forcible, and a model of com* position! A bombastic generation chants the march of improvement, ami its chief refrain is, freedom of the press. Ana rule, the Newt Letter inclines rather to gay than grave, to lively than severe. Vet there are times when serious evils move us to wrath, and our seal of disapproval is set just now upon that ulcer in the Hide of progress— liersonal journalism. We do not realize how insidious ami certain have been the works of this rampant intruder, until we learn from a glance at circulation lists, that those papers are considered jejune and unreadable which are too respectable to bristle with sensational poiltta gleaned from tlm privacy...

Your sprightly paper (No, 1). came to hand this morning. You have embarked in a nohle enterprise, worthy of a hearty support from all of Southern California. Our town (Santa llarhaia) is pushing forward rapidly in the construction of dwellings, caused hy the low price of lumber and the anticipated demand of visitors or winter sojourners. Real property is held at high figures, and there is considerable speculation in It. The medical profession is well represented, probably to assist the climate in Ct|rltig the invalids that are expected to flock to this greal sanitarium. The legal profession is also well represented, and more are coming. The Bar is just now exercised over the question as to whether they will have a Judge to hold court the comingttTtn.

At last the Telegraphic arrangements of the Hkkai.d are completed. The enemies of this journal state that it is impossible to conduct it on so large a scale. Let time show. Persons who have compared our dispatches with those received hy the other journals iv thiseity, acknowledge that there is no further necessity for taxing even San Francisco papers, to And full telegrams. And now the Los Angeles Daily HKRAT.nasscrtsits position. It asserts that it is, and will be, a better paper than ever has been offered to the Los Angeles public. It asks for support in the shape of advertisements, subscriptions, communications and influence. As it has begun So will it go ou. It has hitherto set up every day twelve columns of matter; it never doubles an advertisement, whereas it can produce a newspaper published within the last week in Las Augeles which contains nearly a column of the same matter on the inside as the outside. The Los Angeles Hkkai.d takes its stand alone. It asks tbe support of a...

The Harbor Improvement. At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on Saturday, a very thoughtful and most important report was presented. And if the measures which it advocates are carried out, nothing further will be needed to make the harbor at San Pedro sufllcient for the demands of over 800,009 l*H&amp;gt;ple. A committee had been appointed to inquire into the necessities and capabilities of Wilmington harbor, and the report was thu result of their earnest and careful thought. There is no doubt but the enterprise is entirely, feasible: the expense is not exorbitant, and if Congress can be made to see the results which will accrue to the southwest if this InjajßjJfpmettt he made, It will la*. poj'assfst. It is proposed to run parallel lines of bulkhead from the present wharf to deep water, a distance of over three miles—these lines to be 480 feet apart, and the channel between to be dredged to a depth of 20 feet. This can all be completed at an expense of $300,000, so that vess...

Vested Rights-No. 2. As the framework of our system of government was of English origin,and the very roots and branches of OUf,Judicial system and practice were the outgrowth of Knglish jurisprudence, there es&amp;gt;n be little doubt hut (hut our courts, from the tenacity with which Jiulgen cling to and rely upon precedents, nnd the great reverence with which the)' have looked upon the decisions of the English courts, have failed to give duo consideration to the great and radical difference between the ultimate sources of the power exercised hy the legislative bodies of the two countries, and have seen the legislative power in a magnified state when looking beyond or through it to the people- the acknowledged source of all power undcrour form of government. The law-making power of England, the Parliament, is the King's Parliament, or the legislature of the Executive of the government. Although in part elected by some few of the people, it is not the people's Parliament, nor are...
